Okay, stand by for Personally Observed Rant Mode.

I'm driving my family home from a birthday lunch for my mother-in-law, who lives in the Mustang/Yukon area. I'm going east on (as I recall? 15th), and I notice in my rear-view mirror a small, pukish red car weaving in and out of their inside line as if they were drunk. And I mean big swerves; halfway into westbound traffic, then swerves back halfway into the rightmost lane.

I have to slow and move to the rightmost lane to turn south, meaning this joker is going to be at my side. And as they pull up...I notice its some idiot about 18 years of age, head stuck on her phone, texting her brains out. And she's still weaving. I slow even further to allow her to get distinctly ahead of me, and then I honk my horn in abject frustration. When we get to the intersection, I notice she's put the phone down, so I at least make my turn in the hopes the horn-honk startled her out of her texting mode for a couple hundred yards. That's the kind of thing that gets people killed. I would have called the cops myself and reported her myself, but the only way I could have done that was to use the phone while driving myself. Didn't think hypocrisy was the best course to take.

I don't know what we've got to do to keep idiots like this from using their phones and driving their four-wheeled missiles into innocent drivers, pedestrians, or other bystanders. But I'm ready for selecting tasing. These idiots have to be stopped. I'm beginning to realize that it is so pervasive, its actually more of a public health and safety risk than drunk driving.

Rant mode off.
